It was a rough Monday all around with nearly every show down. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars came crashing back down from Disney week as it fell 1.5 million viewers and four tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Castle was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo as news of major cast shakeups for a possible ninth season came out yesterday. On CBS, the season finale of Supergirl was even with last week. Though it hasn't been officially renewed, I think it will definitely come back but perhaps not in the same timeslot. At 9pm, Scorpion was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

On NBC, The Voice continued to inch down, dropping three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Blindspot was even in viewers and back down a tenth in the demo. This should not get to keep the Monday 10pm slot next season. Finally on FOX, Gotham was even with last week while the only bright spot of the whole night belonged to Lucifer, which rose four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. This is the first time it built on Gotham in the demo. It definitely earned its recent renewal with this performance.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Lucifer (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Dancing with the Stars (ABC)

EPISODE GUIDES: That 70s Show Season Seven

On Thursdays, I go through classic series with a critical look at each season. Today I am looking at Season Seven of  That 70s Show ! THAT 70s SHOW: SEASON SEVEN 2004-2005 25 episodes The seventh season of  That 70s Show  is the final season with Topher Grace as a series regular and also the final full season for Ashton Kutcher. Despite still having both of those cast member, the show finds itself flailing especially with Topher Grace's Eric, who is stuck in a terrible arc for most of the season. The show also brings many characters back at one point or another but everything just feels tired. This season actually graded out the worst for me. Even worse than the often maligned final season (more on that next week). Every title this season is named for a Rolling Stones song. Starring Topher Grace as Eric Forman  (25 episodes) Mila Kunis as Jackie Burkhart  (25 episodes) Ashton Kutcher as Michael Kelso  (25 episodes) Danny Masterson as Steven Hyde  (25 e...

EPISODE GUIDES: Rhoda Season Five

On Thursdays, I go through classic series with a critical look at each season. Today I am looking at Season Five (the final season) of  Rhoda ! RHODA: SEASON FIVE 1978 13 episodes Rhoda' s final season was a truncated one as the show was cancelled in December 1978 after only 13 episodes had been produced (and only nine had aired). This feels like a continuation from season four in many ways except with the ill-advised split between Ida and Martin (more on that below). While  Rhoda  has an occasional good moment and even a couple decent episodes, it is a show that seems so wildly different from season one and not in a good way.  Rhoda  could never figure out what it fully wanted to be and only made it four and a half seasons as a result. Starring Valerie Harper as Rhoda Morgenstern  (13 episodes) Julie Kavner as Brenda Morgenstern  (13 episodes) Ray Buktenica as Benny Goodwin  (11 episodes) Kenneth McMillan as Jack Doyle  (9 episodes) Nancy Wa...

SCHEDULES OF THE PAST: 1995-1996 Thursdays

On Tuesdays, I take a look at schedules from yesteryear. Here's a look at Thursdays in the 1995-96 season! ABC 8:00 8:30 9:00 10:00 Sep Charlie Grace The Monroes Various Programs Oct Murder One Nov Various Programs Dec Various Programs Thursday Night Movie Jan Feb World’s Funniest Videos Before They Were Stars! Mar Apr May NBC was the powerhouse on Thursday nights but ABC still gave it the old college try in the Fall of 1995 with a trio of new dramas that they hoped would help them cut into the Peacock's dominance. Headlining their night was Murder One , a high profile new show from Steven Bochco that received much of the network's attention before the season started. The series focused on one murder case for an entire season, whi...
